Pinxton 1 Ilkeston Town 4
As in their previous game, Ilkeston recovered from going behind and made it three out of three pre-season away victories. Kieran Debrouwer gave the home side a first half lead with a well taken goal but Pinxton were overwhelmed in the second half as Ilkeston finally clicked into gear. Early on, defences were on top but Pinxton went ahead on 18 minutes when Kieran Debrouwer took advantage of some hesitancy by the Ilkeston defence, firing home from ten yards out. Ilkeston were having plenty of possession but without being able to really test the Pinxton keeper. Jamie Walker and Massiah McDonald both fired chances over the bar from decent positions before Jermaine Palmer’s smart turn and shot was saved. Pinxton occasionally threatened on the break but there were no more goals before half time. Ilkeston’s second half changes altered the game. The introduction of Reco Fyfe gave Ilkeston control of midfield and they soon began to dominate. Alex Marshall immediately caused problems for the Pinxton defence and only a fine save by the Pinxton keeper denied him an equaliser on 49 minutes. Fyfe then had a cracking shot which was met by an equally cracking save. On 55 minutes Ilkeston had a big penalty appeal when the Eastwood keeper tangled with Andre Johnson but the official gave a free kick to Pinxton. At the other end, a Pinxton header was just wide but Ilkeston’s pressure finally paid off with two goals in a minute. Walker saw two efforts saved before the ball fell kindly to Marshall for a close range tap in on 61 minutes and a minute later McDonald made it 2-1. Ilkeston were by now well on top and Marshall scored again on 70 minutes with an excellent finish into the top corner. Walker went close and Marshall had a header cleared off the line as Pinxton struggled to stem the tide of Ilkeston attacks. Walker finally got the goal he deserved after 84 minutes. Defender Mitch Robinson headed narrowly over before Pinxton nearly pulled one back with the last kick of the match that hit the woodwork.
